May 3rd, 2007. Oracle Arena is rocking. In Oakland, 20,000 fans, all wearing mustard-yellow t-shirts with the slogan “We Believe,” are amped. It's so loud that the opposing players can't even hear each other in the huddle.That's because the 2007 Golden State Warriors are on the verge of pulling off the greatest upset in the history of the NBA playoffs.Today, the Warriors square off against the Dallas Mavericks, a 67-win team led by league MVP Dirk Nowitzki. It's a matchup that pretty much everyone – from the media, to the fans, to the Las Vegas sportsbooks – agrees they should lose. How are the We Believe Warriors able to take down a juggernaut? And even though they don't come close to winning a title, how is this team more impactful on today's NBA than most championship teams?Special thanks to our guests: Adonal Foyle, 13-year NBA veteran, and center for the 2007 “We Believe” Warriors; Logan Murdock, writer for The Ringer and co-host of the NBA podcast “Real Ones”; Marcus Thompson, lead columnist covering the Bay Area for The Athletic, and author of “Golden: The Miraculous Rise of Steph Curry”; and Tyler Puryear, Mike Guardabascio, and John Nichols, the trio behind the “Jenkins and Jonez” NBA podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

 Marcus Thompson is a long-time Golden State Warriors beat reporter and Bay Area News Group sports columnist and currently writes for The Athletic. Growing up, he was fascinated by two things: words and Bay Area sports teams. In our conversation, he highlights teachers and other adults in his life that encouraged him to lean into writing, including sportswriter Michael Silver. From 1971 to 2019, the Warriors called Oracle Arena in Oakland home until moving to the swanky new Chase Center in San Francisco. Marcus notes that the brand of the Warriors was built on the accessible and communal nature of basketball and details the grassroots momentum of the team. He shares why he thinks the marketing and communication missteps have left fans feeling slighted, abandoned, and priced out of their beloved team. We talk about how this uprooting parallels a lot of what's happening in our community. I've been vocal about the shift in demographics, gentrification, and rising cost of living in the Bay Area, and as an Oakland native, Marcus has experienced it, too. Finally, we discuss why it's so valuable for young athletes to learn the art of storytelling. He explains what's required of them these days, including an element of branding and taking ownership over your narrative. Listen in to hear our conversation about how local sports teams often reflect the cultural dynamics of their community, and so much more.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castbox, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:●      How Marcus became a sportswriter ●      Ways that the Oakland sports teams mimic the story arc of Oakland, especially the Warriors ●      Marcus' take on the decision to move the Warriors from Oakland to San Francisco ●      Solutions to bridge economic and cultural gaps in the Bay Area ●      Why it's so important for athletes to know how to articulate and express their story  Guest Info:●       Marcus' Instagram ●      Marcus' Twitter ●      Marcus Thompson - The Athletic Follow Me:●      My Instagram ●      My LinkedIn●      My Twitter●      Art Heals All Wounds Website●      Art Heals All Wounds Instagram●      Art Heals All Wounds Twitter ●      Art Heals All Wounds Facebook●

The Golden State Warriors are one win away from another NBA championship, which would be their fourth since 2015. But as OG fans know, they haven't always been this good. Writer and Bay Area native Alan Chazaro remembers those days, when tickets at Oracle Arena in East Oakland were affordable, attracting working class folks from across the Bay Area and street vendors selling hotdogs outside the stadium. Still, the Warriors have represented a kind of underdog mentality that the Bay Area has always identified with, even after their 2019 move to San Francisco and the new Chase Center. And for Alan, this championship just might be the most satisfying of them all. Guest: Alan Chazaro, adjunct professor for creative writing at the University of San Francisco and food writer for KQED.

The Warriors are back in the NBA Finals—but this time, they're hosting Game 1 across the Bay, in Chase Center. Writer, poet, and Warriors diehard Alan Chazaro chronicles the communal loss felt by Oakland residents when the team left Oracle Arena in 2019, and navigates the parallels to a larger issue: Being priced out of the Bay for good.

We’re back from a fun weekend of golf courtesy of our friends at the Whistler Golf Club with so much to unpack! The Pat Down focuses on Elias Pettersson contract extension, how the Canucks would be best served to get the deal done before an offer sheet could be offered by another team. Montreal native and TSN/Sports Illustrated contributor Michael Farber follows and tells us how the Canadiens have been able to prove all the doubters wrong and why the Canada Stanley Cup drought is extremely overblown. John Shannon follows Hashtags - the best and worst of Twitter, and says that he feels that NHL players have a 50 percent chance of going to the Olympics next year in Beijing, gives his opinion on what’s next for the Chicago Blackhawks and the investigation of sexual harassment from a former coach within the organization, why he’s picking Carey Price over Andre Vasilevskiy in the Stanley Cup final, why NBC ended up moving on from the NHL, and why he thinks that there should be no asterisk attached to the cup winner this year. The Price is Right questions the theory that fans across Canada should get behind the last standing Canadian team in the NHL playoffs. Basketball Canada President & CEO Glen Grunwald joins next and gives some insight to what the Canadian roster will look like at the Olympic qualifying tournament, and tells us how the floor being used at the tournament is the same floor that was used at the Oracle Arena in Oakland the year the Raptors won an NBA title on.

In Episode 728, Sean and Yasmin (@carmelohdrama) begin a two-part look-back at the 2019 NBA Finals in honour of the one-year anniversary of the Raptors' title win. They first reflect on their feelings heading into the series and whether they were optimistic or fearful of Kevin Durant's looming return before diving into the first four games of the series. They recall their excitement as Danny Green broke his slump to open Game 1, and the amazement with which they watched Pascal Siakam carve up Draymond Green to the tune of 32 points. Next, they look back at the bizarre happenings from both Games 2 and 3. Lastly they revisit what was probably their favourite game of the Finals, Game 4, in which Serge Ibaka and Kawhi Leonard sucked the life out of Oracle Arena.

Though he can be flighty at times, his per-36 numbers compare favorably with many defensive-minded rebounding bigs that play more minutes.Zach Lowe of ESPN reports that the Warriors inquired about Avery Bradley, who was recently traded to the Clippers, Though the talks went nowhere, this is a sign that the Warriors are trying to upgrade at the wing position before the February 8 trade deadline.
